Reorganization in the Information System ( EC-EIS)

Deleting report data

The report data is the data that has been saved for a drilldown report or report portfolio report at a certain time. If you delete this data, the corresponding report remains intact. The next time you call up the report, the system selects new data for the report.

If you no longer require certain report data, you can delete it under Tools ® Information system ® Delete report data. Proceed as follows:

Specify the report data you wish to delete (for example, all report data saved by the user Smith). Choose Execute.

The system displays a list of the objects you selected.

Select the objects to be deleted and choose Delete.

The system then displays the status of the objects.

Deleting reports

You can delete individual drilldown reports under Information system ® Report ® Change. You can also delete individual report portfolio reports under Information system ® Report portfolio ® Report portfolio report ® Change. However, if you wish to delete several reports, you should do this under Tools ® Information system ® Delete reports. Proceed as follows:

Specify the reports you wish to delete (for example, all reports which are based on a certain form). Choose Execute.

The system displays a list of the objects you selected.

Select the objects to be deleted and choose Delete.

The system then displays the status of the objects.

Deleting forms

You can only delete a form if it is no longer used in any report. If you select a form to be deleted, the system checks whether the form is still being used in any report. If it is, the system will not delete the form.

If you no longer require certain forms, choose Tools ® Information system ® Delete forms. Proceed as follows:

Specify the forms to be deleted (for example, all single coordinate forms in a certain aspect). Choose Execute.

The system displays a list of the objects you selected.

Select the objects to be deleted and choose Delete.

The system then displays the status of the objects. If there are reports that still use a form you have selected to be deleted, the form is flagged with status Not deleted and the message Object is still being used. You can select the form to display a list of the reports based on that form. From here you can execute these reports and delete them if appropriate.
